Since fantasy is my favorite genre, I thought it would be fun to take part. This week, their question is: What do you think makes compelling world building in fantasy? Does the world building have to be detailed and logical to draw readers in, or can readers can captivated by world building even if, upon refletction, it doesn’t always make sense?

My sister and I were hoping to walk down the river to our favourite breakfast place this morning but we will no longer be doing that...

Somehow I'm only reading the full text of On Fairy Stories for the first time. If there's any other essays by great figures of fantasy people think are fantastic reading, throw them at me. I feel that Le Guin in particularly has a bunch of great ones but I don't know which ones are which.

Yeahhhh at least I don't think I get many visitors via google searches for my blog name alone. Several other of my webpages show up in the search results before the scummy one, so that's something I guess...

okay with 30 min of research, I think I've figured out the issue but not sure I can fix it myself... at least it is only a problem with that one specific redirect via Google search results and not every single link to my website 😑

Screenshot of google search result for https://fallingletters.ca. Link description reads: Fallingletters Pill Shop. Big discounts! Free viagara pills. REfund policy! Amazing weekend prices! Track your order status online. 3927 49th AVenue Sachs...

I have just discovered that the link to my blog homepage via Google search takes you to a page to buy Viagara... is this part of the reason why my views are down... how do I fix this 💀
